WASHINGTON, May 30.-Ihe tomb OF
General Logan is upon the grassy wooded
western slopes of the ancient and pictures
que Rock Greek cemetery. A little to the
east and south of it is the National GENE
terry. adjacent to the Soldiers Home, where
there are thousands of graves of the known
and unknown dead The road that leads
to both of these places was lined all day
with old soldiers hobbling along on canes
and crutches, with ladies bringing baskets
overfiowing with flowers, and with patriotic
citizens carrying garlands which were
placed on the graves of the dead On the
wooded heights of Arlington, far to the
south, where 5000 Union dead lie buried,
loving hands were doing the same work.
But the most notable spot in all that long
floral circuit was the tomb in which rest
the remains of General Logan. This was
the Mecca to which the footsteps of thou
sands OF friends and patriots turned The
cemetery is three miles from the city, but
the distance seemed to deter no one. Hun
dreds were on foot, while vehicles of all
kinds bore the rest. That tomb itself was
model of floral beauty. A committee of la
dies, who had worked busily from early in
the morning, had arranged the vast number
of floral tributes about the tomb, SO that
when the widow approached it when the
sun was going down, she could not repress
the tears of grief that is quenchless.

SANTA FE, N. M. May 2s.-The ia
cariIa-Apache tribe of Indians numbering
over 500, in charge of Special Indian Agent
Welton, passed through Santa Fe in body
to-day en- Route to their old reservation in
Northern New Mexico, which was restored
to them by the recent executive order of
President Cleveland, and where they are to
be allotted lands in severalty. The process
sion was very unique one and hundreds of
people lined the streets to see it pass.
They Travelled in true Apache fashion,
most of the women being mounted on po-
MES or burros, with child in front and a
little one hanging on behind or bound to
the back in blanket. OF loose ponies,
burros and dogs, pack animals. ETC., there
seemed to be no end. Captain Welton led
the procession and three United States cav
alrymen brought up the rear, while the d.
rection of the band, the route of march and
other details was In the hands of ten stall
wart bucks who marshalled the tribe through
town and obeyed Agent Welton's orders to
the letter.
Four years ago they were moved from
their reservation to which they are now re-
turning to the Hescalero Apache reserva-
ton. They were not contented there and
asked the privilege of returning to their
reservation in Northern New Mexico, and
taking lands in severalty, which has finally
been granted. There are 100000 acres in
the reservation to which they return, and
after the Jacarillas have taken their lands
in severalty the unoccupied lands will be
opened to settlers.
During the time the Jacarrillas have been
of the,old reservation few bona fide set
tiers have gone in and taken claims. They
will not be disturbed. There are many

throughout the Arkansas Valley in Colo

the rain area embraces the whole Of Bent

away. The Arkansas River and all its
tributaries are out over the bottom lands
for miles in many places. Where the

and to-day, but it is receding somewhat
The strong current of the Arkansas car
RED away section of the railway bridge
near Nephesta, about thirty miles east Of
Pueblo, which delayed trains both east and
west, and no trains or mails have passed
since Friday morning. The company is
transferring Its passengers at Nephesta to-
night but it is expected that the river will
have sufficiently subsidized by morning to
allow of repairs on the bridge, when trains
will be running. No other damage from the
storm is reported.
The rain is greeted with enthusiasm by
the residents generally, and the farmers
who have recently arrived are feeling ex-
ceedingly jubilant over the prospects for
the coming summer. 1t is considered the
biggest boon that could have befallen the
Southeastern portion of the State.

The Timber culture Law.

The following is an extract from =
speech of Register Frank p. Arbuckle, at
Lamar Colo, a few days since, and is =
strong argument in favor Of the repeal of
the timber culture laws:
1.-THE timber culture and Communication
laws should be repealed. The interests of
the new West demand 1t. Too much:of our
lands are held by non-residents. The fu-
ture prosperity of our country depends upon
the lands being held by the many and not
the few. The timber culture law is Of no
benefit to any one except non-residents. 1t
is rank fraud and should never have been
placed upon the statute books of the United
States. Take our neighboring district for
example. Two thousand five hundred TIM
Der culture entries, and Of that $500, but
one isolated case has ever matured. Only
| in one case has the entryman made final
proof. The land is held in most cases by
residents in Eastern States for speculation
| by means of sales of ACCOMPLISHMENTS and
not for the purpose of cultivating timber as
the law demands. 1t is an unjust law mas
much as when actual settlers like you do
come along and try to secure land, you find
timber culture entry upon the choicest Sc
| lection. and in order to get that tract you
must buy a non-resident's REIMBURSEMENT.
You are obliged then to pay bonus for
land which the Government contemplates
making you a present of, pro-
viding you would accept 1t as home.
Two thousand five hundred families de-
prived OF the rights by this law in one dis
trict. None of us ever see this expected
timber growing anywhere, and about the
only timber ever saw on timber claims
was that of natural growth, and which Com
missioner Sparks is having cancelled quite
rapidly. The administration insists upon
the rights of bona fide settlers being secur-
ed to them. The several transcOntinectal
railways and large cattle monOpOlies can
no longer over ride the people with impu-
nifty. The interior department guarantees
to every settler, however humble he may
be, his legal privileges. The government
asks in return the compliance with the law
and the good faith of the entryman. Every
settler should resolve himself into a com.
mittee Of one to protect our government
against fraud. Report all Illegally, drive
out corruption and monopoly.
Goldsmith truly writes:
III fares the land. to Fastening ills . prey,
Princes and lords may flourish and may
A breath can make them Is . breath has
made,
But an honest peasantry, a country's pride,
When once destroyed can never be supplied.
